Thanks

Hello dear bloggers,

Here is a card where one of the feathers and the sentiment has been die cut from a laminated lid of a yoghurt container. The royal blue and purple feathers have been die cut from water colour paper after my younger one painted them with Sakura acrylic paints. The background has been created with Versamark Brilliant pearlescent ink in lavender as well as a tiny bit of distressed ink (lucky clover). Rounded off the edges and my messy preparation was ready. Lol.

I will enter this card in the following challenges:

Hello

Hello dear bloggers,

Here is a card made on printed cards tock.  The rose has been made with my Altenew layered rose die. The doily is from my stash and so are the pearls. I have used foam dots to adhere the rose and the leaves. 

The hello sentiment has been die cut using packaging material. That is pretty much to this card and I quite like how it turned out. I did add more pearls after photographing it though.

I will submit this card in the following challenges:

Hello

Hello dear bloggers,

Here is a card I made while we were in the US last year. The flower and leaf stamp is from Paper Source and the sentiment has been die cut from a thick carton and I went over it with distress inks and many layers of Wink of Stella. So much so that I finished my Wink of Stella on this. The rhine stones are from my stash. The images have been stamped with distress inks and coloured with water colour pencils.

Monkey and Hamster

Hello sweet bloggers,

Here is a card that Aleeza designed and I put it together. I cannot recall the name of the stamp which we have used for the sentiment. The coppery washi tape had to be used to cover up some stains. The monkey is 3D felt sticker from the craft store in town. The brown strip on the left is washi tape from my stash as well.

Below is Aleeza with Ginger, her class hamster who was visiting this weekend. Aleeza was so happy to have him, she being a total animal lover. In the picture, she has put Ginger in a shoe box.

Yes, the third graduation card

Hello dear bloggers,

Here is a card I made for my older daughter's bestie from our family. The image is a Prima rubber stamp which has been stamped with black Stazon. I have put a graduation hat sticker on the lady. The two small flowers have been punched from handmade paper from India while the big one has been sponged with distressed ink. The centre of the big flower is a seed which I often see lying on the green path outside where we live. I have used foam dots under the black paper and I can safely say this is almost the bestest knot I have made to date. Lol.

And another grad card

Hello sweet bloggers,

Here is yet another grad card for Zeenya's bestie's parents to give to her. The stamp is a clear one from KaiserCraft while the hat and sentiment are from a Studio G cling stamp (I think). 

The red  printed paper is a clothing tag from India and the Washi tape is from my stash. The hat has been coloured with water colour pencils and an airbrush and the rhinestone on the hat is from KaiserCraft. I have used a red metallic Uniball gel pen to highlight the feathers of the bird.

Another grad card

Hello sweet bloggers,

Here is another grad card to show you which I have made for Zeenya's boyfriend. The monkey is a Kaiser Kraft clear stamp and the hat (a Studio G cling stamp, I think) has been stamped, coloured with water pencils and fussy cut. It was finally mounted on the monkey's head and I am afraid it may be a tad big for his head. The black and white strip is a jumbo sized washi tape while the sentiment is part of the set that came with the hat. I went over GRAD many times over with my black Sharpie as there were some bits that were not too well done while stamping.

I will submit this card in the following challenges:
